    It was more a question and that was my answer. Not necessarily meant to be the best. It's stuff that gets overlooked alot, and doesnt necessarily get alotta radio play, where people can hear it all the time.

    And really all of those are arguably among the groups best

    Radiohead-OK Computer

    thats all i can think of that would be on my list.

    Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
    MUSE - Black Holes And Revelations
    QOTSA - Songs For The Deaf
    Badmotorfinger

    So should I make a list of the best albums of all time or just overlooked great albums?

    and if I may cheat, there are also a couple of Phish jams everyone should hear, including "Bathtub Gin" from the Great Went (8/17/97). Absolutely beautiful.

    I was just askin to maybe find a few cool albums I don't own. I stand by my choices. You can hear tons of Zeppelin, Beatles, and Floyd on the radio, but virtually nothin from the 3 albums I selected. Most people have heard of the other bands, and maybe wondered how good they were.

    Of course it can be stuff that gets played quite a bit too, b/c there is obviously a reason for that.

    Neutral Milk Hotel? what's their style?
  • Blind MelonBlind Melon Posts: 911
    Neutral Milk Hotel is fucking weird as hell... his voice is annoyingly good... the music is random ass shit, but sounds awesome. It's hard to explain, better to just listen for yourself.
    If I could, think I would give in.
